A program series:  Exploring Information Technologies

Establishing an Institutional Repository

featuring

Susan Gibbons
Assistant Dean of Public Services and Collection Development,
University of Rochester

Program Description:

This program is a LITA (Library & Information Technology Association) Regional Institute. It will cover the technical, policy, and human factors related to establishing an institutional repository (IR). Based in part on the presenter's Library Technology Report "Establishing an Institutional Repository" (July/August 2004), the institute will reflect the current state of IR development and best practices, as well as the lessons learned by early adopters.

Discussion topics will include:

* What is an IR and why should my institution have one
* Who should be involved in the project
* Policy decisions
* Cost factors
* Overview of available IR systems
* Content recruitment strategies

The institute aims to provide a very realistic picture of the costs, benefits and complexities involved in establishing an IR.

Audience: The program will be oriented to an audience from academic and research institutions including librarians, administrators, and computer professionals at institutions with an IR project under consideration or in early stages of development.
